/VIDEO/ Thai boxer Hron fell as if cut short after a kick, a platform lifted him into the plane
He covered so many such blows in his twenty years that it is impossible to count. But this time, Brno Thai boxer Tomáš Hron fell to the floor of the ring after being kicked by Dutch boxer Errol Zimmerman and could not continue. “I’ve done a block like that a thousand times in my life. I covered a low kick, which I do every day in training, but when I stepped up, my foot quit. I don’t know what happened, the doctor said maybe I hit a nerve. In twenty years of death, I have not experienced anything like this,” recounts Hron.

He couldn’t continue in the top match of the Mega Fight Arena event in Istanbul, Turkey, with self-denial he stayed on his feet until the results were announced. “I knew it was in trouble, my leg immediately swelled up and I felt a lot of pain, but the adrenaline was still working for a while. After the announcement, the ambulance took me to the hospital, where they x-rayed me. I don’t have anything broken, so they sent me away,” describes the fighter from Brno, who regretted such an end to the battle. “Inwardly, I don’t feel like a loss, the match was just getting started and I was perfectly prepared,” he says.

But the next day he couldn’t even walk because of the pain. “I was supported, an attendant even took me in a wheelchair at the airport and I boarded the plane from the other side to the others using the high-lift platform that is used for the disabled and the elderly. I wasn’t able to take a step,” he describes the feelings.
After returning, he headed to the University Hospital at St. Anna in Brno, where a doctor examined her. “He drew about a dozen of blood from my leg, then I was very relieved and I am at least able to walk without crutches,” he says.
However, it will be wiser only after the magnetic resonance examination, which is still waiting. “The knee still hurts a lot, but I’m cooling it and it’s getting better. At least I train my fitness with it, or I used to box on a bag,” says Hron.
Despite the injury, he did not interrupt his training, because on December 27, another fight awaits him. At the Fight Night Challenge gala in Brno’s Zoner Bobyhall, he will compete against Michal Martínek. “I want to win and I believe it will be good,” he hopes.

Their fight will be unconventional, because for the first time in his career Hron will go to the ring for a fight in professional boxing. “There was an offer to box with this organization, which Attila Végh is behind and which also does matches for well-known personalities, for example Rytmus, which is popular today, will be in Brno. Michal Martínek and I are friends, we go at it, even though boxing is not a sport for either of us, Michal does MMA. We both want to win,” reports Hron. “I thank everyone for their support, especially the South Moravian region,” he adds.
